Mobile ads boost Google Q1 revenues

Online revenues have helped boost Google's
net profit to $3.35bn in the first three months of the year, up 16% from the same period in
2012.

Google reported growing income from online
advertising, which helped boost overall revenues to nearly $14bn for the quarter, up 31%
compared with the same period a year ago.

Operating income was $3.48bn, up 2% on the previous year,
and net income was $3.35bn, an increase of 16%.

Analysts said the results indicate that Google is building confidence with advertisers even
though the average price per advertisement has fallen by 6% in the past year due to competition
with Facebook.

Although Google’s revenue of $11bn, less advertising commissions, was about $33m below analyst
estimates, the company’s share price increased by 0.5% to $770 in extended trading after the
financial results were released.
